Ponytail palm (Beaucarnea recurvata)

The ponytail palm, known for its bulbous base and long, cascading leaves, is actually a succulent related to the agave family, not a true palm. This resilient houseplant prospers in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to lower light settings. It favors dry, well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix, and requires the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
